Printing on Single Sheets

Available Paper Types and Paper Slots

As shown below, you can load single-sheet paper one sheet at a time using the paper guide on top of the printer or the front paper guide. You can print on ordinary single sheets, single-sheet multi-part forms, postcards, and envelopes. Your single-sheet paper may be from 100 to 420 mm (3.9 to 16.5 inches) wide.

Note:

To load a stack of single-sheet paper, use the optional cut-sheet feeder. See Using the Optional Cut-Sheet Feeders.

For detailed specifications on the types of single-sheet paper you can use, Paper.

The table below shows the types of paper you can load in the top and front paper slots and the paper thickness lever settings for each paper type. For more information on the paper thickness lever, see Setting the Paper Thickness Lever.

Note:

If the printed image is smeared, you may need to set the paper thickness lever one position higher to improve print quality.

Do not load paper that is damaged, curled or has been folded.
